Transistor Pricing Overview

Transistor allows podcast creators to create multiple shows on one account easily. The feature has been essential for me as a university professor who creates a new podcast series of lectures for every new class I teach. With Transistor.fm I pay one monthly fee and can set up as many shows (or in my case, classes) as I need to. Another feature that Transistor.fm has is the ability to quickly and easily submit your podcast to all the different repositories (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, etc). It took me less than 10 min to have my podcast submitted to all the directors I wanted.

I've been using Transistor.fm for over a year now, and I can honestly say there is nothing I don't like about the service.

The big problem I had before I was using transistor was having to hobble together lots of different services and/or accounts on one service to create podcast-lectures for my students to listen to. With Transistor.fm I'm able to do all the work in one spot, with one account.

Transistor is easy to use, works the way we need a podcast host to work and has phenomenal support. If you aren't already using Transistor to host your podcast, you should definitely switch right now. Their pricing also makes it a pretty easy decision to use their software.

Nothing - it has all the features we need, and their support is amazing.

We wanted to have a podcast for our company (Fathom) but don't have a ton of time to deal with hosting and uploading episodes to each platform. That's why we chose Transistor, we can automagically set things up and they take care of the rest.

The ability to spin up multiple shows without additional costs or very much effort was a big selling point for me. This is becoming more ubiquitous in the podcasting space, but Transistor does a fine job of making the UI seamless and the experience frictionless. I've used other hosting in the past, and this is an area where the co-founders certainly shine--it's clear that they have spent a lot of time making the interfaces clean, usable and intuitive. In the 15 or so months that I've been on the platform, I've already seen one major overhaul on the UI which improved upon an already excellent user experience. Justin & Jon are practitioners in the podcasting space themselves, and host a show which I followed for some months before signing on with them. It's always good to be using a product in a space in which it's clear the owners are experts themselves. Support (of which I've used for only a couple things) has been excellent. Their documentation is solid, and on the few occasions where I've reached out for specific issues, responses have been swift and helpful. I suspect I will utilize their private podcast feeds feature at some point, but I don't have experience with it yet. However, specifically for business use cases, this is a huge selling point as well. Having privately accessible feeds is becoming more common with companies' internal podcasting and messaging, and I can see this being a useful (and huge) feature that I use eventually. Twitter links share nicely with a mini podcast player. Auto-generated website for each shows is a great feature if you don't want to fool with building your own site. Analytics are well done and easy to read--they've focused on the most valuable ones for advertisers, and also allowed linking up to 3rd party analytics. Onboarding my shows from their old feeds was seamless too--everything pulled over easily. For new show creation, they've synced up with all the major providers to really simplify getting your podcast listed everywhere. In many places, one click will submit your show to the right place. And it's nice to be a part of what I know to be a small, tight-nip founder team. This ethos goes well in the podcasting space imo.

For a solo-practitioner, $19 may be a steep entryway for a monthly fee. There's a fee trial, but $19 is the cheapest plan. My podcasting, though proficient, is merely for the sport of it and I use it as an artistic platform. For solo shows with no intention of actually using the private feed feature or the unlimited-show feature, I might try out a less costly solution that will simply get someone's feet wet with podcasting. For those familiar with the format and the hosting options, though, you'd be hard pressed to find a better option.

Every podcast has to be hosted somewhere. There are a ton of options, but Transistor has taken out the complexity of getting up and running for new shows and made it easy to get multiple shows hosted under the same roof. I particularly needed this multi-show feature as I like to experiment with new podcasts often.

Transistor has an amazing UI that makes podcasting dead simple. You can host as many podcasts as you want for the same price. They’ve got a killer one-click submit feature for podcast players. Also: Fantastic humans!

Nothing. It’s super affordable for what you get and they’re constantly shipping new updates and improvements.

You’d think that hosting a podcast was simple. But there’s so much nuance and a bit of a learning curve to overcome. Transistor holds your hand every step of the way and shows you exactly what you need to do. I never worry about anything podcasting-related because I know Transistor can do it or teach me how to do it.

You can quickly get a podcast online and distributed. You can have as many podcasts as you like. Some hosts charge per podcast. You get access to a website for your podcast if you wish.

That it charges per downloads vs "unlimited" downloads like some hosts. However that's part of it allowing for unlimited podcasts.

I used to spend a lot for each of my podcasts. Now I can host on one place. I've noticed their analytics are easy to understand too.

I have been an early access user of Transistor.fm for a few months before they launched. I have wanted to start a podcast for years and came up with every excuse in the book for not doing it. Transistor removes all of the headaches of publishing and maintaining your podcast. The online dashboard easy to use, you will be up and going in minutes. This is the hosting solution I knew I wanted even before I saw the product. So actually getting what I wanted at a really good price is a no brainer. Justin and Jon have been really responsive to feedback as well!

I don't have any complaints about Transistor at the moment.

The online dashboard easy to use, you will be up and going in minutes. They allow for multiple users so that you can have multiple people manage show episodes. It can even create a website for your podcast
